Gracie Abrams' That's So True vs. Gigi Perez's Sailor Song for UK Number 1 song

Gracie Abrams could clinch her first-ever Official Number 1 single in the UK this week, as the race towards the top heats up.

Current champ Gigi Perez still leads the way with breakthrough hit Sailor Song, though Official Charts data shows Gracie to be fewer than 50 chart units behind the New Jersey-born singer-songwriter with That's So True today.

Included on the deluxe edition of her chart-topping LP The Secret Of Us, That's So True inches ever-closer to the Number 1 spot; possibly bettering its current Number 3 peak here in the UK.

Earlier this year, Gracie earned her first UK Number 1 album with second studio LP The Secret Of Us.

Speaking exclusively to Official Charts at the time, Gracie said:

"Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for somehow making my album The Secret Of Us Number 1 in the UK. 

"I can’t wrap my head around that. This is the first time that anything I’ve ever done, ever, anywhere has gone Number 1. Thank you for believing in the album, thank you for listening to it and thank you for letting it into your lives. 

"This means so much to me, and to the people I’m lucky enough to have made these songs with. I can’t wait until we’re all in the same place, to sing these songs together at a show and to dance. I’ll be crying! I love you, thank you so much.” 

Scoring her first chart-topping track last week, Gigi Perez told Official Charts:

"What the hell? Oh my God, this is amazing! 

"There’s such a big hole in the conversations that we’re having in mainstream music. There’s an entire group of people - the queer community - who need representation.

"Knowing that Sailor Song is a vessel for that, it’s amazing. Thank you!"
